Hi

I'm trying to install RC2 on my desktop with a Geforce 6800LE card. I've
install beta 2 on it, it works fine. However, on Clean Install (Advanced
setup) with RC2, installation goes well in Windows, but after the restart
process, it hangs with "Vertical strips" appearing (like my display was
chopped into 6 parts.) I've already deleted the partition and reinstalled,
to no avail.

Has anyone encountered a similar problem, any workarounds?

Thanks
LH
 
I had exactly the opposite problem. I have a 7950 GX2 NVIDIAwhich would not
work in Beta 2 or RC1 and only works with RC2. After the restart are you
able to press F8 and enter the safe mode or not for Vista?

regards
Robert
 
i had a very similar problem, I am also running a video card with a nivida
chipset. Took me 2 days to figure out problem. Had to use Dvi output of
card, vga output was dead. After getting a desktop, I was able to load
Nvidia driver and moniter started working.
 
I tried installing RC1, all works fine now. It is kind of strange, must be a
bug in the NVIDIA drivers. Hopes that this will be fixed when RTM arrives.

Also, the "F8" menu you mentioned was fine, so it's probably a driver
problem not so much of a corrupted install.

Thanks
